Which permissions are required to convert a lead?
To convert a lead, you need to have permission. The users who have privilege for bulk action, can use “Convert” option found in “Show All” page of Leads App.
When a lead is converted it becomes an account contact and opportunity?
When you convert a lead, Salesforce creates an account, contact, and optionally an opportunity, using information from the lead you’re converting. If the lead was also a campaign member, Salesforce associates the campaign member record with the new contact. The converted lead becomes a read-only record.
Can a qualified lead be converted into an account?
Oftentimes a lead is qualified, but is not yet in the market to make a purchase. Field Sales still wants to be able to work this prospect, but they don’t work with leads (only accounts and contacts). They need to convert a lead into an account and contact, but without creating an opportunity.
Can a converted lead status be displayed as a lead status?
The “Converted” lead status should not be availble to be selected as the “Lead Status”. Too many times the user will select the Converted lead status from the lead status picklist and forget to hit the “Convert” button altogether. When display the picklist values, do not display the value flagged as the “Converted” Value. Merge Idea·Flag
